    Anyone know of production builders who offer dreamsicle (Creamsicle?) orange as a body color? Or something close?
    Coral/salmon/faded fiesta red would work too.

    I'm thinking about getting some sort of P/J or maybe P/humbucker 4-string fretted bass in this color, with a white pickguard. I think Lakland offers it but... so expensive for USA models.

    Ideally I would love a Fender P-Deluxe from 2007/2008 or so, with a maple neck, in this color. I think they have a tangerine metallic color - though ideally I'd prefer a more transparent non-metallic finish over ash.

    Picky I know :)

    Input is welcome...

    Hmm. Lakland has pink coral that's about perfect...

    Look for a Fender Japan in Capri Orange with a maple fingerboard. Looks exactly like a Creamsicle.

    You could find the bass you want and then have it refinished. Its hard to find orange.

    G&L & Mike Lull both come to mind, Suhr probably has orange too but I'm not sure.

    Is this creamy/dreamy enough for you?

    Carvin is too yellow. FunkMetalBass - that's EXACTLY what I am looking for. How much? :D

    Warmoth has a neon orange color that's similar too.

    That's really pretty. What color is that? I'm also a little saddened by Fender's current lack of color offerings - I wish they would bring back stuff like this.

    I love love love that creamsicle Jazz. Looks like a late 70s J that was refinned maybe?

    this is what the orange Jazz is - it was made in the '80's in Japan.

    Hmm. I'm looking for a non-mutt... but at least I know what this finish is called now. Capri orange. Love it!
